Fast Fred
Fast Fred is a honest 6-year-old who has won 5 races from 32 outings — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 races. He earned his first victory at Redcar on 28 October 2024, and has been a regular fixture on the track ever since, though his form has turned patchy in recent months. His last win came at Musselburgh on 12 April 2026, over four months ago, and he has not found the winner's enclosure in his last six races. His recent record reads 2-2-13-4-8-2 (most recent first), which shows he can still place — he ran second twice in his last six starts — but winning has become elusive.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse runs best when the ground is soft or wet, where he has won 2 of 6 races (33% win rate), and he also performs well on normal ground with a record of 2 wins from 8 races (25%). Fast Fred shows a clear preference for races at distances between one mile three furlongs and one mile four furlongs, winning 2 of 8 races (25%) at those trips. Where he has struggled is in the tougher Class 5 races, where he manages just 1 win from 14 attempts (7%). Phillip Makin's Easingwold yard, which has sent out 9 winners this season, continues to place him regularly, and he is most often ridden by Rowan Scott, though they have won just once together from 10 rides. Fast Fred remains an active, dependable sort — the kind of horse you might back for a place bet rather than outright victory — but he will need to rediscover his touch if he is to add to his tally soon.
